MultimediaStation
From ELOST-Info
Austria`s MultimediaStations are publicity-oriented kiosks provided by a private consortium.
Currently, 775 "MultimediaStations" (MMS - multi-media broadband internet telephone booths set up in highly frequented public areas) are available across Austria. 63.4% of all MultimediaStations are located in Vienna.
Telekom Austria, which operates the MultimediaStations together with apc interactive, planned to convert another 225 telephone booths into MultimediaStations by the end of 2006 (for a total of 1,000 MultimediaStations across Austria).
MultimediaStations can be used to make regular phone calls or video calls, to surf the web, and send e-mails and instant text messages.
Certain sites are free of charge (all sites ending with gv.at, i.e. all eGovernment sites).
According to the MultimediaStation homepage, 75% of the users are under the age of 39.
apc interactive has adapted their MultimediaStations for use by German T-Com in 2006 (see image box to the right).
